    Typically, I'd suggest you'll find, upgrading the HMC first is the more appropriate sequence...... but read the instructions. You never know when you'll find an exception.

    1. HMC Upgrade
    2. MS Firmware Upgrade
    3. VIO Upgrade
    4. TL Upgrade

    But as The_Doctor said, read the instructions!
